    #JOTW World’s longest project - My AVC diamond ring with an emerald halo by David Klass. Introducing, Clover.

    This really has been the longest project I’ve ever worked on. I guess I’ll start with the very beginning. Just over a year ago, I purchased a gorgeous 1.59ct, O colored, ACV from August Vintage Inc (now Distinctive Gems). Unsurprisingly, @Rhino was a peach to work with and was happy to send me...

    #JOTW Victor Canera Heirloom Reset

    Hello lovely PSers! We finally got engaged in August and I wanted to share the final VC piece with all of you! We used the heirloom from my fiancé’s family which has been estimated by appraisers to be anywhere from 3.35 to 3.7 carats, 9.7-9.9 mm across. We didn’t have VC weigh it out of the...

    #JOTW Whiteflash ACA Experience

    Hey everybody, Just wanted to make a quick thread highlighting the great experience I had with Whiteflash, and show off the bling a little. In the beginning I was just browsing their site, adding things to my wishlist. Shorty after I received an email from Michelle. Saying she noticed I was...

    #JOTW Belated Birthday Bangle with diamonds in platinum by IDJ

    Here is my latest sparkly baby! After a long two+ month wait, I just received my birthday gift from my dear fiance: a custom 2.16 ctw diamond bangle in solid platinum. It is not hollowed out on the inside part that touches your wrist (I believe hollowed out is more standard so if you want solid...

    #JOTW My very first diamond studs! WF ACAs

    I was on here months ago not sure about pulling the trigger on some nameless Etsy earrings for $500 that claimed to be SI2s. Thanks to Pricescope and tons of research I canceled my order and decided to just pull the trigger on ACAs. I have never purchased from Whiteflash before this occasion...

    #JOTW My Third Child is Born

    I picked out my original engagement ring with my now husband from a B&M store. We didn’t do much homework on diamonds as I wasn’t very into Jewelry at the time. It was a 0.72ct round solitaire in a four prong setting paired with a delicate diamond eternity band. I loved it. It was simple yet...

    #JOTW Whiteflash A Cut Above 1.558ct K VS2 Engagement Ring

    Just picked this up from FedEx today and was soooo excited to bring it home and see how Whiteflash did. Honestly I was a bit nervous this last week and second guessed my choice to go down to a K color, thinking that I might be disappointed with the ring when it arrived. As I waited for the ring...

    #JOTW New girl in a vintage dress - 3.243 I VS2 ACA

    I just upgraded my stone, 3.443 J SI1 ACA, to a 3.243 I VS2 ACA. It is gorgeous and I am so pleased with this decision! Although it is a tad smaller at 9.5mm, the bump in color and clarity more than make up for a barely noticeable size difference. Both color and clarity improvements are...

    #JOTW 25th Anniversary/ 50th Birthday

    I started hanging around PS in 2007, and finally joined in 2008. At first I mostly explored SMTB, enjoying all of the sparkly posts. At that time, I had little kids ages 4 and 7, and eventually I made my way over to the PS Moms page, where I found a really lovey, smart and funny group of...

    #JOTW 5 carat emerald cut and updaded collection pics

    I never intended for this to be a big jewelry spend year but a few wheels went into motion prior to the pandemic and, well, I ended up with a few new things despite my intentions. I have always loved step cuts. My big goal was to get a 5 carater one day. To hold me over I started a 7 stone...

    #JOTW I finally have it!

    I always had a love of diamonds, and I wanted to be an archeologist when I was little just to dig up jewels ;-). But when it finally came to getting engaged, we were both barely out of college and my DH didn't know anything about American culture and engagement rings and did the best he knew how...

    #JOTW New 4.1ct JA True Hearts

    It was pointed out to me that I should have posted my ring here first lol. So I sold a bunch of things, a 2.4ct H VS2 pear ring, VCA bracelet, Cartier watch that was clunky and annoying (I am so not a big watch person. Give me a small Rolex). Probably going to sell my 2.1ct D color SI1 round...

    #JOTW Antique 2.2ct ruby oec cluster ring - bucket list item checked off!

    A ruby has always been a bucket list item for me so I’ve always kept an eye out. There were times I was tossed up between a cluster or a 3 stone with oec sides but my heart really wanted a true antique piece and that’s probably why I never pulled the trigger on a few beautiful loose rubies over...

    #JOTW Boadicea the Valiant

    (ETA Just to clarify before I start - being an Australian, living in the US, my birthday is a 2 day event. Technically, it's on June 20th - tomorrow. But today in Australia, where I was born, it's already June 20th and my birthday. So if you want to be accurate, you'd probably have to say...

    #JOTW Upgrade with WF

    I am so happy that I was able to utilize the upgrade program with WF. They were helpful and made sure I am happy with the product. Here is my new diamond. K color 2.93ct ACA. I think it’s a magic cut weight. Right below 3ct so I don’t have to pay for 3ct price jump. Please don’t mind me...

    #JOTW An outstandingly pleasant 3.09 o-p old mine cut

    The pun is silly, but this is a lovely stone. GIA graded old mine cut, o-p, 3.09 center, VS2, in an art deco platinum setting with carre cuts. I will try to see if the setting grows on me, but it will likely get a new dress. Probably the CvB Tempest. It is technically a three stone, but I don't...

    This has been a big year for me. Well, for everyone. Very tumultuous. But we’ve gotten this far, we’ve survived, we will keep putting one foot in front of the other, and keep moving forward. This ring is my reminder that sunshine always eventually comes after the storms; no matter how bad the...
